FEBRUARY 26: Sewell will conduct an in-person interview today, Demovsky reports. Green Bay’s other follow-ups are expected to happen shortly, so a hire needs to be made soon.
FEBRUARY 25: Wealthy Bisaccia‘s abrupt resignation because the Packers’ special teams coordinator was a shocking move, not only across the NFL, but in Green Bay.
“I wouldn’t say we were expecting it in any respect. It caught us by surprise,” general manager Brian Gutekunst said on the Mix this week (via Channel 3000’s Jason Wilde). He acknowledge that Bisaccia’s departure was “a giant loss” and noted that the veteran coach may pursue “some otther opportunities.”
Bisaccia’s mid-February exit took place long after several other potential replacements were off the market. Amongst them was Byron Storer, who worked as an assistant special teams coach under Bisaccia in Green Bay for the last 4 years and Las Vegas for 3 seasons before that. He took the Browns’ special teams coordinator job under Todd Monken, rendering him unavailable to succeed Bisaccia in Green Bay.
Gutukunst casted the delayed hiring process in a positive light, noting that he wouldn’t must compete with some other teams for his desired coach. The Packers have already interviewed three candidates – Cameron Achord, Tom McMahon, and Kyle Wilber – with Cardinals special teams coach Sam Sewell because the fourth, per ESPN’s Rob Demovsky.
Sewell has spent the last three years in Arizona with previous experience as Eastern Michigan’s running backs coach (2019-2022) and special teams coordinator (2022). The Cardinals’ special teams general ranked in the midst of the pack in 2025, though kicker Chad Ryland‘s field goal conversion rate dropped from 87.5% in 2024 to 75.8% in 2025. The team rotated through three different punters and still finished eighth as a team in yards per punt. Additionally they averaged 11.4 yards per punt return, the Eleventh-highest mark within the league.
The Packers will look to swiftly fill their last major coaching emptiness because the team turns its attention to free agency and the draft in the approaching months.
